Re: Air flight to the cruiser Kumano on November 25, 1944.

From the "Naval History and Heritage Command" (actually for the 21 Nov.)..........
LANGLEY (AG44):
VF44 = 19 x F6F-3, 6 x F6F-5.
VT44 = 9 x TBM-1c.
TICONDEROGA (AG80):
VF80 = 48 x F6F-5, 4 x F6F-5N, 2 x F6F-5P.
VB80 = 24 x SB2C-3
VT-80 = 18 x TBM-3


30 x VT and VB were in the strike force, she was hit by 5 torpedoes and 4 500lb. bombs.

(ESSEX was the 3rd. carrier).
